Hey crew,
Recently, one of my favorite artist, Nas was on the Tavis Smiley show speaking about the current affects of media and his latest album titled "Untitled". There was a lot of controversy surrounding the release of the album. A lot of people was upset with the original title and the controversial content display on the album because it displayed a lot of fact that modern day American's are afraid to address on a daily bases. I feel that , a great deal of the content taught me more about myself, and that the information will help me to better understand why there is so much negative media being promoted today.

While listening to the interveiw I see that Nas love hip hop and always think that everything is marketing and entertainment. He think other rap artists music is about killing, selling drugs and etc. His music is about his family and his life.
Also he think that his music shelp children around the world. Obama have some of Nas music on his ipod. Nas think that he can fix what hip hop is about today
